Protest New . Lobster Size T

with regard to the recent change from 2 3-8" to 2 1-2" carapace measure as the minimum size limit for canner lobsters, as an- nounced at Ottawa this week. the Prince Edward Island Fisheries Federation sent off the following wire to Mr. Stewart Bates. Deputy Minister of Fisheries at Ottawa, last night. with copies to the four P. E. I. M.P.'s at Ottawa, as well as Mr. Gordon O'Brien, manager of the Fisheries Council of Canada: "Prince Edward Island Fisheries Federation strongly protests neiw carapace measure for canner lob- ster in view of recent annual de- creasing trend in catch here as follows: 1950, 57200 cwt.. 1951, 51737 cwt.. 1952, 49548 cwt.

OITAWA, March 28 - (Special) -- Lobster fishermen of Prince Edward Island did not ask that the carapace measurement of lobsters be increased to two and a half inches for canning purposes.

This was stated in the Commons Ly .1. Watson Macmugnt, parlia- mentary assistant to Fisheries Minister Sinclair today in reply to a question asked yesterday by W. Chester S. .McLure, Progressive Conservative member for Queen's. In an explanation of the change in regulations governing lobster fish- ing in waters of the Maritime Prov- inces, Mr. Macliaught said:

"At the beginning of the 1052 season, it was decided and agreed that for canning lobsters, a change should be made from the existing overall length measurement of seven inches to the more accurate carapace measurement. Our scien- tists reoolnmended two and three elghths inches as being the closest figure to seven inches, since it would give an average length of 6.0 inches and range of 6.5 to 7.5. During the year, we had constant complaints that the catches in- cluded lobsters much too small from fishermen in New Brunswick and Nova scotis, who. it must be remembered also fish lobster in District 7B and 8.

"Our scientists re-investigated in the light of one year's experience and recommended the increase to two and a half inches on the basis of conservation. This new measure will give a size range of 6.8 to 7.9 inches and an average size of 7.3 inches. In October 1952. the pro- posed change was explained and discused with fishermen and pro- cessors at well-advertised and well- attended meetings at Moncton. Antigonlsh, Summerelde and Shel- burne. -

”Considei-inc as a whole the re. actions at the first three meetings where fishermen and processors handling lobsters were heavily rep- resented, the obvious conclusion was that the great. majority of lobster fishermen and processor." favored the suggested increase."

W. J. Browne. Progressive Con. servatlve member for st. John's WE”. Nild-. asked Mr. MacNaught What was meant by the word ”carapacc." The parliamentary M. sistnt explained that it was a. meas- urement of the shell oi the lobster.

Says Possession Of , Margarine Illegal

Rising in the Legislature yester- day afternoon Premier J. Walter Jones said a. Guardian news story left the impression that people could have margarine in their homes provided it was not offered for sale. He said he wished to make it clear that this could not be done.

The Premier quoted from the Dairy Industry (Provincial) Act which states that no person may keep margarine for sale. He also quoted another section which reads: "The having in his possess- ion by any person or any article the sale of which is prohibited by this Act. shall be deemed to be prima facie evidence of an intent to sell or keep the same in viola- tion of this Act."

The Premier stated he was read- ing the sections of the Act to prove to some people that thcy could not legally have margarine in their homes even if it were not intended for sale. The previous day when an amendment "to the Act was in committee l-ion. C. C. Baker. in reply to questions by Mr. R. R. Bell and 'Mr. Frank Myers. stated that the changes had no bearing on the margarine question so long as the person in powesslon of it did not attempt to sell it.

Treasurer. in the opening of the budget debate. He was also fear- ful that the gross national produc- ilon of Canada, on which the Fed- eral payments are annually made! to this Province. might not be as high as the Provincial Treasurer planned.

The Conservative critic spoke only briefly and moved the adjournment of the debate within a few minutes of rising to participate in it. He said the Provincial Treasurer had made an excellent speech and was obviously trying to be fair but he feared that the estimated surplus. for the year ending March ill this' year might turn into a deficit when the actual figures were finally re- celved.

Major MacDonald will resirme when the budget debate is started again. The Legislature was ad1ourn- ) last night until 11 o'clock this. morning with Premier J. Walter, Jones stating it would work ever-vi possible hour from now "Will it prorogues.

current account of 5705.993 and an overall debt increase of 5732.410 for the year ending March 31.1964. lion. W. E. Darby. Provincial Treasurer. last night presented al detailed analysis of the Provin:c'sl financial situation in inovlllg the vote of Supply in the lie-gzslature.

Mr. Darby estimated total ex- penditures for next year at 99.659.- 8."i9 and total revenues at 58,339.-l 002. included in the expenciitl.res.l he noted. is sinking fund apprrrp-l riaiion of 5566.425.

Dealing with increased expendit-I ures in various departmenas, the! Minister called attention t.n the vote to Charlottetown and the in- corporated touns which is bclngv increased from 52.00 to 52.50 per3 caplta, and to villages from '75 cis . to SLO-').

In the Department of lEduca-' tlon. 65.000 more will be expended on teachers salaries and the over- all increase will be almost slob.- 000. Agricultural estimates have been increased by 547.360 and Health and Welfare by e21l.000.

The highway program for next year involves an outlay of Sl,211I- 000 on ordinary account, as well as 51,736,500 of capital expendit- ures, including 3350.030 on the Trans-Canada highway from Bon- shaw to the Queens Arms and s new North River bridge.

The Supply asked for. Mr. Darby stated, "would appear to be well within our capacity to pay with- out resorting to additional taxa- tion. In fact. with careful hand- ling and with the probability of revenues exceeding the minimum basis of forecast, we can. at least. have a reasonable hope of again attaining this year's achievement- the payment of both ordinary nnd capital expenditures out of current

i income."

Text of Speech

Following is the text of Hon. Mx-. Dsmby's speech in moving the House into committee:

In this coronation year it would appear entirely fitting that we re- affirm our loyalty to that Most Gracious Lady who. on June 2nd. next. will be crowned ”Elizabeth the Second. by the Gra'ce of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and ll0l' Other Realms and Torri- tories. Queen, Head of the Com- monwealth. Deiender of the Faith.' I believe that in no part of her vast possessions will the words of the National Anthem ”God Save The Queen" be sung with more in-artfelt sincerity than here in this Island Province.
